Not so Grim is this Story (Submissions)

This week for Podtacular, we are going to be talking about the Halo story, including the games and books. We will speculate on what we might see in the terminals from Halo: CEA and in Halo 4. We will be having HBO’s GrimBrother One on the show to help in the discussions. We want to know what you guys think about the Halo storyline as well, whether it’s your favorite campaign memory, and interesting book fact, or your speculations on the coming stories. We will be recording on Thursday so get your submissions in.

Dear Podtacular,
I’d have to say one of my favorite story moments was at the end of Ghosts of Onyx when Mendez, Halsey, Fred, Kelly and others were in the shield world. It felt like a new beginning in the lives of the characters and left a huge possibility open for a sequel that could go many different ways. I think we’ll see them all again in maybe Glasslands or perhaps even Halo 4. The structure that Master Chief is floating towards could be the shield world that the aforementioned crew is in and Chief will finally reunite with his teammates. Plus, it would be awesome having some of the expanded universe characters in the games with voice actors and everything, though we did get Halsey in Reach.

As for the Terminals in Anniversary, I think they’ll provide more info/lore on the Forerunners and Halo rings that will become very important in Halo 4 plus maybe answer some longtime series questions.

I’d love to hear more of an analysis of Halo’s fiction as a whole–tropes, macguffins, cliches, genres, storytelling devices. The use of storytelling in the games as opposed to books is of course a great place to mine for discussion. Can’t wait to hear.
